Comparing Objective Caml and Standard ML

bonesss

Really nice, and evenhanded, breakdown. I think OCaml is slept on in the LLM-hype discussion as it allows for very high level human readable abstractions and specifications, and feel all the ML inspired languages might be due for a resurgence of popularity. Also a bit funny to monitor my own reactions as a spoiled F# dev, chunk by chunk, oscillating between “ wow, that’s great I want to use that always ” and “ ew, yuck ” for both languages. The grass is always greener, but also that which I’ve already nitpicked has fewer nits to pick, apparently.
